Recommended by Entertainment Weekly as a Best Book of 2021

A delicious tale of rivalry, friendship, heartache, and dessert! Fame-obsessed Jack and somber Jillian, who is mourning the loss of her mother, become a mismatched duo selected to compete for $150,000 in a high-stakes baking contest jam-packed with hilarious high jinks.

This sweet story is a delightful, quick read with a wonderfully charming cast of characters. The delicious descriptions of baked goods are sure to make readers mouths water; fortunately, three recipes are included. A refreshing and uplifting book filled with friendship, heartache, and a generous sprinkling of love. -- Kirkus Reviews

The Markses excel at creating goofy but appealing characters: extrovert Jack seems beyond embarrassment, yet he honors Jillians wish to keep her moms story private; Grandma Rita has no cooking skills, but she rocks at martial arts and plumbing repairs; and Phineas Farnsworth exploits everyone he encounters but has a soft spot for the memory of the nanny who raised him. -- Booklist

The authors excel at layered depictions of the hardworking young protagonists and the adults in their lives, offering an entertaining journey that celebrates friendship, teamwork, and connections that span generations.-- Jewish Book Council

A sweet delight of a middle-grade story that reminds readers that the key ingredient for any recipe is always love.--Entertainment Weekly

Like Jack and Jillian themselves, this book is a blend of over-the-top zany fun and earnest food for thought that will appeal to a wide audience. -- Association of Jewish Libraries

Exploding with loud, rock n roll attitude, eleven-year-old Jack Fineman dreams of becoming the greatest pastry chef who ever lived. His plans are thrown off course when his butterscotch basil brownies are upstaged at his sixth-grade holiday party by a simple plate of chocolate rugelach brought in by Jillian Mermelstein-the new girl at school whose mother has just died and who only wants to be left alone.

These budding bakers lives are mixed together when they are selected to compete as teammates in a nationally televised competition. For Jack, this is his chance to advance one step closer to culinary greatness. For Jillian, its an opportunity to help her father by winning her share of the $150,000 top prize.

Preparing to face bakers from the citys other middle schools, Jack and Jillian struggle to find the right recipe for working together. Along the way, they make the worlds most irresistible oatmeal cricket cookies, battle Jacks checkered-pants-wearing brother for miniature golf supremacy, and discover the troubling reasons why each of them was chosen for the contest.
